Cruise Ships Visiting Sihanoukville

Sihanoukville Autonomous Port is Cambodia’s principal cruise port and a popular stop on South East Asian cruise itineraries. Cruise lines that regularly visit include Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Oceania Cruises, Regent Seven Seas, Silversea, Seabourn and Viking Cruises. The cruise terminal is conveniently located approximately 3–5 km from Sihanoukville city centre, with a journey time of around 10 minutes by car.

Why Choose a Private Shore Excursion?

A private shore excursion allows you to experience Sihanoukville and the surrounding region at your own pace, rather than following the fixed schedule of a large group tour. With your own friendly local Guides4me guide, you can visit beautiful beaches, colourful local markets, Buddhist temples, waterfalls and authentic Cambodian villages, or travel further afield to discover hidden gems that many cruise passengers never see. Every itinerary is personalised to match your interests and the time you have ashore.

Make the Most of Your Time Ashore

Our experienced local guides carefully plan every private shore excursion around your ship’s arrival and departure times, giving you complete peace of mind while maximising your time in Cambodia. Whether you want to explore Sihanoukville, relax on pristine beaches or experience local culture and cuisine, you’ll enjoy a flexible, personalised day before returning safely to Sihanoukville Autonomous Port with plenty of time before your cruise departs.

Phnom Penh is approximately 230 km (143 miles) from Sihanoukville Autonomous Port.

Typical travel times are:

• 🚗 By private car: 2.5–3 hours via the Phnom Penh–Sihanoukville Expressway (National Road 4)

• 🚌 By coach: 3–4 hours

• 🚆 By train: Approximately 5–6 hours

For cruise passengers, travelling to Phnom Penh on a day visit from Sihanoukville is not recommended. Although the new expressway has reduced journey times, the round trip takes around 5–6 hours, leaving limited time to explore before returning to the ship.

Whatever you choose to do in Cambodia, it will be a unique and memorable experience of a lifetime, with a Guides4me guide, who will look after you and by the end of the trip you’ve made a best friend.
